1 Corinthians 16:12-21 Modern English Version (MEV)

12. As for our brother Apollos, I greatly wanted him to come to you with the brothers. But he was not willing at all to come at this time. However, he will come when he has a convenient time.

13. Watch, stand fast in the faith, be bold like men, and be strong.

14. Let all that you do be done with love.

15. You know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints. So I ask you, brothers,

16. that you submit yourselves to such people, and to everyone who helps and labors with us.

17. I am happy about the arrival of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, for they supplied what was lacking on your part.

18. They have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge these men.

19. The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

20. All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

21. I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand.
